If this game was a Kickstarter project, couldn’t the developers made an update announcement during development to discuss the sensitive topics being added to the game as a primary part of the game?

If this wasn’t talked about by the developers during the Kickstarter campaign, that is a failed opportunity to be…

He might complete his collection at this moment in time, but as soon as The Pokemon Company release new shiny cards, his collection will be incomplete.  It’s a self-imposed goal with no potential ending in sight.

Since the blockchain Polygon is founded in India, they probably weren’t checking how the name was used worldwide.

Being a content creator is a business. I see that many creators still have not designed contingency/exit plans in their business model.

Please keep in mind: At a filter rate of 99.5% of incoming particles, this filter is not a HEPA filter.   If you need the gold standard of filters for consumer households, you have to get HEPA filters.

This topic comes up every time we discuss difficulty.

It is possible to have a default difficulty that represents the original intention by the designers. It is also possible to have a configuration menu to adjust a few aspects of the game for those players having a bit of difficulty.

Accessible does not mean the…

Since there are named persons in the lawsuit, can California sue the individuals?  I would think that the individuals resigning would not shield them from liability.

Great follow up article on Linda Guillory. Her game collection is impressive and meticulously organized. (I would hope an engineer would be very organized!)

I don’t collect games, but I definitely remember playing some of these units in  my youth.

The riding along the rails is unfortunately convoluted as real photographers should be able to move freely. As a result, I have to take multiple rides to try to get good Pokemon shots, which likely is intentional design. I would have liked the ability to stop or drive anywhere along the rail.

The other problem I have…

The problem is that management tries to run anti-unionization campaigns to prevent workers from unionizing. Unfortunately, the tactic does have some effect. Some workers are persuaded into voting against their best interests.

This will be a long slog by the workers.  They have to collectively stand together, or there…

Smoking guns!

That might work. Now, do it repeatedly over the course of a game; multiple cards get tagged with “perpetually” modifiers.” Now, try that at the tournament level, where there are time limits, like in Chess. At the end of the game, you have to remove the placeholders.

My original statement still holds. These mechanics…

This is where WotC/Hasbro should just make a digital card game from scratch. Shoehorning this into a 25+ year paper game that was designed for none of these digital effects is going to dilute the product.  Obviously, Magic is a big brand, so of course Hasbro wants to leverage it.

When the Planeswalker type was…

How is an RNG fiesta fun in Hearthstone? 

Many card games and board games do have some element of chance, but when the RNG effects become too much, they start detracting from the game.

The “perpetually” mechanic can’t be reasonably done. A given card could be returned to the library, making it difficult to track. Also, a player may have 4 of any card that isn’t a basic land card in their deck, so tracking a specific card affected by perpetually and not the other 3 copies is very problematic.

Strictly…

Wait for reviews.

QTEs as one-offs are usually OK, since that’s really comes down to muscle memory, and the player only has to do it once. But QTEs in a turn-based battle engine where you have to make the QTE or not deal or withstand normal damage is going to be too much for some people.  At that point, it might as…

That is some deep knowledge of the enemy AI, combat mechanics, and the physics engine.

These apologies are becoming a dime a dozen.

It will be very interesting to see if Activision will threaten to move out (or actually move out) of California and incorporate in Texas, Florida, or some “business-friendly” (read: heavily Republican) state. If their lobbyists can’t make this lawsuit go away or settle for some tiny amount of money, moving the company…

There weren’t any combos in the demo, but if there were multi-hit or multi-block button presses in the main game, then players with poor reflexes or those that didn’t want this would not be able to get through the game.
